1.28 espie 196: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
197: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
198: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
199: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
200: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be

317: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
318: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
319: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

323: <ul>
324: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
325: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
326: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
327: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
328:
329: <p>
330: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
331: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
332:
333: <p>
334: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
335: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
336: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
337:
338: <p>
339: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
340: read INSTALL.i386.
341:
342: <p>
343: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
344: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
345: use the
1.11 sthen 346: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 sthen 347: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.11 sthen 348: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 sthen 349: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
350: "rfd0a".

353: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
354: </pre></ul>
355:
356: <p>
357: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
358: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
359: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

366: The 5.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
367: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
368: your BIOS options first.
369: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
370: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then
371: boot from the floppy drive.
372:
